CEO of Meta. Seller of your data. Wearer of one gray t-shirt. Testified before Congress twice. Still not confirmed to be human.
Born in White Plains, New York, Mark Suckerberg didn't choose tech — tech chose him. His first emotion was logged, analyzed, and monetized. His first words were "terms of service."
After dropping out of Harvard — an act his algorithm calculated would yield 340% more lifetime earnings — he built a little website called TheFacebook, whose original pitch was: "What if we took everything private about human relationships and made it public? With ads?"
Today he runs Meta, formerly Facebook, formerly MySpace's nightmare, currently your attention span's worst enemy.
Senator, we run ads. That's how we make money. Would you like me to explain what an ad is?
I'm not familiar with that... I'm not familiar with that... I'm not familiar with that... I'm not—
The Metaverse is the future of human connection. Also, it will definitely have legs by 2024.
I eat food. I feel things. I have a wife and children who can confirm I have emotions on request.
They trust me. Dumb f***s. — Age 19. Has since clarified this was "a different time."
We connect people. That's our mission. We connect people. To ads. For money.
87 million users' personal data harvested without consent and sold to a political consulting firm. Mark's response: "I'm not familiar with that."
Data CrimeTestified before Congress twice. Sat on what appeared to be a booster seat. Explained how the internet works to people who use AOL. National television moment.
EmbarrassingBurned $47 billion building virtual empty malls. His avatar had no legs. Users had no interest. Employees refused to use it. The only people in it were journalists writing about how empty it was.
$47B GonePlatform repeatedly cited for spreading misinformation during multiple elections across multiple countries. Algorithm optimized for outrage. Engagement was up.
DemocracyInternal documents showed Meta knew Instagram was damaging teen mental health and did nothing. Documents were leaked by a whistleblower. Meta disputed the methodology.
WhistleblowerAge 19: "They trust me. Dumb f***s." — direct message from the founder of a company built on trust. Has since said he regrets it. We remain skeptical.
